What I truly want to create in the esports facilities we will build together with ACTIO from now on is the passion of the players who shine there and the cheers that surround them. We will prove why estadium is a "stadium" and co-create an esports business that generates enthusiasm.

Comment From Nobuyuki Okajima, President of NANKAI Co., Ltd.
The NANKAI Group will continue to create regional vitality by co-creating with various players more actively than ever before. The challenge of esports, which goes beyond the framework of a traditional railway company to create future urban experiences, is also a symbolic project. I am confident that through co-creation with ACTIO, a leading company in facility management, we can realize our desire to nurture, expand, and connect to the future the "happy life" that we consider our social mission.
